Alphabet ordered nine episodes that feature 13 contestants using a variety of crime scene investigation techniques to solve a series of fictional crimes and determine who among them is the killer. In the final episode, one player will unmask the killer and win $250,000.

“I’ve built a career telling crime stories, and if there’s one thing that I’ve learned, especially from ‘CSI,’ it’s that the audience loves to solve the mystery,” Zuiker said.
